Best scroll saw I have owned

Best scroll saw I have owned No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

I have worn out a delta and a Dewalt scroll saw in the past ten years and recently aquired this saw. It is the same parallel link design as the dewalt, the only real difference being more of the parts on the dewalt are stamped where on the excalibur they are machined. The table is aluminum and will not rust. This saw runs smooth. I highly recomend this to anyone unless they have a problem with purple tools.

Good idea with the angled mounting stand. Must really improve the view and muscle fatigue. Any ball park on cost? Looks like a class act tool. BTKS

I have the DeWalt and not the budget for an Excalibur, but I’m sure the Seyco saw is top flight. Thank you for the review.

I bought this one for $80. Woodcraft has the 21” for $749.

Jamie, thanks for the review. I have a scroll saw on my wish list and have not focused in on any one tool, yet. This review gives me some good info on which to base a buying decision.

the excalubur saws arm moves instead of the table so you depth of cut doesnt get messed up as much
